In recent years, Alberta has been dealing with increasingly frequent fires affecting its national parks. This summer 2024, the situation did not escape Jasper National Park either, where fires caused extensive damage to nature and property. More than 30% of the town of Jasper was reduced to ashes, forcing locals and tourists to leave the town quickly, either by their own cars or by organized buses. We had the opportunity to hear how the evacuation took place, what things needed to be taken with them and what was going through the couple's head. Patrik also mentioned the current situation in Jasper and anticipates that rebuilding the city will be a long process. According to him, the fires left indelible traces and life here will never be the same again.
